Dream role or sequence....

O.K. I've thought many times about a dream role or sequence for Saoirse. I'm sure all of you have many ideas. My hope was a big Hollywood studio would remake Joan of Arc someday with an incandecsent Saoirse in the lead. Or how about an epic story of the incredibly tragic "Great Famine" in Ireland. There are so many possibilities.

Here is one sequence in an imagined film: Saoirse plays a cultured daughter of a Polish intellectual who was executed by the Nazis during the initial occupation of Poland in WW2. She was studying classical music at the university before being shipped to a prison camp. In this scene, she has already experienced the unspeakable horrors suffered by individuals interned, but due to the location of her barracks, she hears the following beautiful voice from the commandant's quarters as she looks out the window and just emotes for over six minutes: http://tinyurl.com/hbs4voo

Hope I'm not overly dramatic. 

 Good. I suspect the posters have a variety of ideas related to the topic. I really think she could do anything despite the genre.

We had a decent discussion years ago about lead vs. supporting roles. While I'm enthusiastic about her taking any good role, I'm actually very happy she has decided to concentrate almost exclusively on lead ones in her film career.
